I’m a queer therapist working on uplifting my community and embodying the idea that therapy should be a relief. I practice with an eclectic style, meaning I believe the techniques used should be fitted to the person rather than taking a "one size fits all" approach. My focus is on queer adults who need support in life transitions, processing trauma, navigating the world, and those who are seeking a safe place to explore. I specialize in gender affirming care and psychoanalytic explorations. I provide trauma-informed, sex-positive, and kink-friendly perspectives because therapy should always be judgment free.
It can be uncomfortable approaching therapy and opening up in new ways, but when you feel like your therapist really GETS you there is a joy that can't be matched. I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where you can be yourself, because I feel that a person cannot improve if they are not accepted for who they are.
My communication style is casual and funny, but always respectful and open to feedback. If you have been searching for a therapist that you know can relate to you or will accept every part of you, know that you've found it. Let's get to work!
